    Octopus RBA Cleaning Question

    hello all. I just picked up an Octopus RBA for tasting my DIY liquids. Quick question - is cleaning this the same as any other tank? I can just rinse it in water, soak it, dry it, whatever? It wont mess up the battery terminals if I do that will it?

    What's Your Total Flavor Percentage?

    yeah my concern is that I went too high because I heard that going too high can produce muted flavor or harsh chemically flavors. but theres no way that a total of 15% is high enough for that to happen right? that sounds crazy to me... I think I probably accidentally threw in too much nic on...

    What's Your Total Flavor Percentage?

    I just started the whole DIY juice thing, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. I've been experimenting with different ratios and percentages, but I really don't want to drain all my supplies through trial and error. I guess that's just something that's going to happen... My total flavor...

    How Much TFA Strawberry to Use

    I have read that too much flavor can actually have a reverse effect, where it begins to mute itself. Is this true? Is it possible that even 10% strawberry could be too high? That just seems really low to me, especially with how extremely potent the banana is.

    How Much TFA Strawberry to Use

    I'm currently working on a Strawberry Banana Cream recipe and I'm having trouble determining how much strawberry to use. I am making 10ml of juice. The strawberry is certainly the least strong of the three, and the banana is extremely potent. My first recipe is as follows Strawberry 10% Banana...

    HHV review... kind of

    Yeah I was aware they make them fresh to order, which is certainly a good thing, but I got these in a sample pack. Their website says that sample flavors are only available in 70/30 at 12mg nic because they premix flavors for sample packs and just fill up the little 3ml bottles when someone...

    HHV review... kind of

    Yeah I've ben looking for the same thing. I'm vaping on my Dragon's Fire atm and the honey flavor has definitely toned down a lot. It's still a little bit there, but very tolerable. I want to let them steep for a week or two but it's too tempting! I'm definitely gonna let the Dark Horse steep...

    HHV review... kind of

    So I got a sample pack a couple days ago from HHV which includes Dark Horse, Dragons Fire, Gaia, and Huntsman. I chose this vendor based on the outstanding reviews of their tobacco flavors. In fact, there is a NET thread on here somewhere where multiple people gave Dragons Fire their "best...

    PG/VG in flavorings

    I was curious about this as well. For instance, I looked on Perfumers Apprentice and found the msds/ingredients lists for all of their food grade flavorings. The majority have pg listed as >=10%. I also use ejuicemeup. Should I still keep pg marked as 100% for the flavor? Or would it be 10%?

    trust me I want to start right now! just need supplies! but thank you, I understand what you're saying. I definitely planned on getting 100mg/ml nic liquid.. just couldn't decide on what ratio. my mind keeps reverting to 50/50 so I think ill just start with that, seeing as I want to start DIYing...

    Advice for DIY Noob

    how does it give you more flexibility? this is the one part that's hard for me to grasp. I understand using all PG nic for say a 70/30 blend, but lets say I want to make a 50/50 blend. wouldn't it be easier to use 50/50 nic at 100mg/ml? then just add equal parts pg and vg? I keep hearing...

    Nicotine Liquid PG/VG Ratio Help

    So I'm ready to place an order for all my DIY materials. I have a good grasp on the method as well as all of the supplies needed, except for one. I'm a little confused as to what PG/VG ratio nic liquid to get. The lady at My Freedom Smokes said she recommends 100%PG or 100%VG nic liquid. I was...

    I forgot to ask, what percentage PG/VG nicotine liquid should I start with? 50/50? I usually vape my blends between 50/50 and 70/30.
